Windwalker,
Marbles, A.R.Harding, reflector ovens, Calvin Rutstrum!!!!You are a
true romantic! For those who don't know about these things, they are
classic trapping names. Calvin Rutstrum is my favorite outdoor author.
Now, I consider all good trappers my brother (not outlaw trappers) no
matter what era. But I'm going to try and keep my discussions to pre-1850.
Its tough to do to as even with all our modern gear trapping is still a
hard job requiring a lot of woods savy and skill. Still the bond between
modern trappers and our brothers of two centuries ago is strong.
I keep mentioning for anyone wanting to trap critters to join and take
a trapping associaton course. I also hope everyone on the list is in the
NRA and they should join their state trapping association to help support
them. You may not trap but some day you may want to catch one beaver and
they are the only ones fighting for our rights. Remember our whole era
revolved around the beaver trapper or people who dealt with them.
Windwalker, nonresidents cannot trap furbearers in Montana. You will be
near water but it may be solid ice! Ice went off and on many times this
winter on the Missouri. My river the SUN just thawed out one week ago.
Been frozen solid since november. Those are some tough beaver living under
the ice that long, what a life.
I have two big hogs so far but only have a few traps out. The fur is
prime still as the water is ice cold, this I know firsthand. Its still
always better to take fur too early then too late but always during the set
seasons.
Sincerely, Greg aka Castor Garcon (beaverboy)

Been looking at Alfred Jacob Miller's paintings and noticed something. Look at his painting titled "Our Camp". In the right hand side, is that a drawing of a one pole tent? I don't see any smoke flaps nor a bonnet of poles. So is it or isn't it in 1837?
The original hangs in the museum in Cody, so if anyone wants to go look at it, who knows?

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Too Quiet
One pole tents were common in Rev War..
it makes sense that alot of gear was carried west
procured from "unknown places"
Note:
Keelboat Crews were for the most part a breed apart..
so its hard to tell what they picked up..
and if we are talking about missouri River trips
then St Louis had a real abundance "of gear' about
Note alot was french and spanish...

Today was sunny and warm. It was a good day to put the sneak on a

Ms. Vansant
I am afraid you have not given us enough information to know where you are
coming from or to what you refer too. I am not a tin expert by any means
but I assume that what you refer to could be best answered by saying that
it needs to be hot enough to melt the solder or keep it molten long enough
to get a coating all the way around it.
Perhaps someone smarter than I will see this post and help us out.
But speakin' of tin I have a shiny new tinware cook set and I am wondering
how to get it seasoned properly?

Subject: MtMan-List: HELP!!!! Firelock needed!!!
Ho List!
I am in need of an affordable bangaround firelock to tide me over till my fusil gets finished!!! (next december is the eariest date!!!) I will be using it for living history events! Needs to be flint, of course. It can have the barrel shot out, gouged stock, scratches, even a minor crack in stock is OK. Slight to moderate rust OK (do not want belly of barrel rusted out!!!) Even a pieced together gun is OK as this will mainly shoot blanks. Long as it makes a spark and some smoke.
A pistol may even do!!!
If anyone has any such thing lying around they want to get shed of or knows where I can find such, please let me know!!! Please respond offlist!!

Subject: MtMan-List: another pot-stirrer on horns
A while back someone mentioned buff horns being the most common amongst
original RMFT types.
OK now, does that make a current day reenactor 'inappropriate' if his
powderhorn is made from cow?
Methinks (yeah, there I go again, Roger) that many cow horns were
brought by these guys when they came from homes in the east, traders brought
them and others found their way into the mountains from the semi-wild
Spanish cattle breeds in New Mexico and Texas country.
Also, how common might wild goat and mountain sheep horns might be? What
is in the various fur trade museums?
Fire away.

Hey pard, Wat is a 'day horn'? Does one change horns come evening time
like a proper lady changes her attire? :-) Do ye use a different horn at
night?
And ye'all might want to take at look at what a new member to my little

Don, I sure would be glad to have this question settled. Not that one
image in one painting would settle anything but it would help.
Last event I went to, of about 200 camps, only a half dozen tee-pees,
lots of marquees, lots and lots of one-polers, including mine, mebbe one or
two diamond flys, one or two thrown together almost-shelters. Not a single
open-face half-shelter made with hides. Oh, well.
